Abstract
A battery of psychophysiological responses including forehead EMG, skin temperature, skin resistance level and heart rate, measured under several conditions including baseline, self-relaxation, and self-control, and stresses such as mental arithmetic and cold pressor, was collected on patients with three types of headache prior to any treatment. With this battery we can predict from 31.5 to 70.2% of the variance in posttreatment headache activity level scores for patients treated with relaxation and biofeedback. Moreover, we can correctly classify as successful or unsuccessful, after either relaxation training or biofeedback training, from 72.7 to 89.7% of subsamples based on headache type and treatment regimen.
